A quantitative study was conducted with the aim to investigate whether
individuals use a specific conflict strategy when they are in a task conflict
or a relationship conflict in their workplace. The study also examined whether
individuals experience positive or negative effects of a task conflict or a
relationship conflict when a specific conflict strategy have been used.
Previous research explains the effects of task conflicts and relationship
conflicts at the workplace (De Dreu, 2008) Likewise lifts the effects of the
conflict strategies interaction, avoidance, and power and coercion (Hoerr,
2005; Meyer, 2004; Trudel & Reio Jr., 2011). However it does not tie together
what the conflicts and conflict strategies have for effects together. This also
means that it is impossible to discern if there is a strategy that is
frequently used in a specific conflict type.
The study group consisted of 62 participants from different workplaces that
responded to a survey. The results showed that the participants have
experienced positive and / or negative effects when they are in a task conflict
or a relationship conflict and use a specific conflict strategy. The authors
could not discern whether individuals use a specific conflict strategy when
they are in a task conflict or a relationship conflict.
